Not Sure How You Guys Do This Every Day

[Marvo]

I couldn't do this every day. I could have done 10 years ago but not now.

I see your problem - you did 5 days work in just 1 day!
No wonder you're knackered!

Is that the voice of someone on day rate 😉

Working from home I’m the same. I reward myself for doing stuff by having a little break. Before I know it, I’m rewarding myself a lot and getting F all work done

 

[Marvo]

This is the main cause of the unplanned breaks, he's nosey and constantly moans because he can't see what's going on when the door is closed.

Just messin'.

I do tend to break a job up into "events" though.
I have a day or two ripping out.
A day patching and cleaning and priming.
A day planning (seriously - sometimes it's a full day working it all out)
.....and if all is prepared well - a little time actually tiling.

as they say; "it's all in the prep." 😉

I like to get it all stripped out on day one..

This was the bathroom before renovations started;

This is the thing of beauty I have now after Day 1.

Have you got a bit of a problem?..

I think you'll find the rip out you have done today is the hardest of all the job usually. It's a job I don't do unless I really must

• Remove accessories like towel rail, shelves, mirror, panel heater, toilet roll sculpture etc.

I'm a closet toilet roll sculpturer.....

Sometimes the rip out isn’t too bad 😀

Can't say I blame you. With 20-20 hindsight I would have got labourers in to do it....

Yesterday was just the same for me, could have reused the tiles as not a bit of addy stuck to the back.

Plumbing today though, I bloody hate plumbing!

Marvo, please keep the posts coming,
It’s the funniest thing I’ve read in such a long time, and I can feel your pain with every single tap of your bleeding fingers! 😛
